What is the purpose of septoplasty, is it failed if my septum is still crooked?

My doctor didn't recommend a CT or bone break for my septoplasty. I still had breathing issues post surgery so I got a CT for another reason and it was noted my septum is still crooked. Would this be a failed septoplasty? When I asked the doctor (after he told me it was straight I showed him the CT scan) how to fix it he said bones needed to be broken so isn't that a failed septo if he didn't fix it in the first surgery. He said I didn't need bones broken, now I do?
